Have you ever experienced a moment when your entire world changes forever? For Lydia Quixano Perez, that moment arrives during a family quinceanera celebration when cartel gunmen murder sixteen of her family members, including her journalist husband Sebastian. Only Lydia and her eight-year-old son Luca survive, hiding behind a shower curtain as the killers methodically execute everyone they love. The massacre wasn't random-it was orchestrated by Javier Crespo Fuentes, known as La Lechuza (The Owl), the powerful leader of Los Jardineros cartel. The devastating irony? Javier was Lydia's friend and favorite customer at her bookstore, a cultured man who shared her love of literature. Their genuine connection included deep conversations and shared vulnerabilities. When Sebastian published an expose revealing Javier's true identity, this friendship wasn't enough to save them. Now, mother and son must flee immediately, knowing Javier's reach extends throughout Mexico and his men will return to finish what they started.
